@danfro said: The power button itself works. It brings up the power menu, but pressing the buttons failed. I have that now and then... But no idea what may be causing it.

@arubislander its to my understanding they past "right to repair " basically everywhere? ...the U.S and the U.K?? .....my logic is once i buy the device its mine including any gpu or hardware included ....the fact companies wont come off drivers is nothing more than a way to keep trying to extort money from you ....and actually would violate right to repair ....i would argue this in court because once you backwards engineer anything without even looking at the proprietary drivers ....its no longer their ip ...also there is a few "legal" approaches to this ...also i would cite precedence .. 1. NEC Corp. v. Intel Corp. (1989/1990) This is the landmark case that officially validated the "Clean Room" defense in a U.S. court. The Conflict: Intel accused NEC of copying the microcode for the 8086 processor to create their own V20 chips. The Strategy: NEC hired an independent engineer who had never seen Intel’s code. They gave him a specification of what the microcode needed to do (the functional requirements). He then wrote his own version from scratch. The Ruling: The judge compared the "Clean Room" code to Intel’s code. He found that while they were similar, the similarities were due to functional constraints (there were only so many ways to make the hardware work) rather than copying. This proved that a person could arrive at the same result independently, effectively defeating the copyright claim. Sega Enterprises Ltd. v. Accolade, Inc. (1992) This case expanded the right to reverse engineer for the purpose of interoperability. The Conflict: Accolade wanted to make games for the Sega Genesis without paying licensing fees. They disassembled Sega’s code to understand how the console "talked" to the cartridges. The Ruling: The court ruled that disassembling code to understand its "unprotected functional elements" is Fair Use, provided there is no other way to gain that information for interoperability. This supports your right to scan hardware to understand how a driver needs to behave. Computer Associates International, Inc. v. Altai, Inc. (1992) This case established the "Abstraction-Filtration-Comparison" test, which is still used today to see if a program is a "copy." The Strategy: After realizing an employee had copied code from a competitor, Altai performed a "Clean Room" rewrite. They used a fresh team of programmers who only had access to the functional specs, not the infringing code. The Ruling: The court found the new version did not infringe. They ruled that elements of a program dictated by efficiency or external factors (like hardware compatibility) are not protected by copyright.

@makapaka Nah, not corrupted, just check in a terminal with the command fastboot devices. In fastboot mode you can install the fastboot ROM from here. I have done this on this device a few times. It takes some time so leave the device alone when flashing. Do NOT relock the bootloader as it can brick the device.

@arubislander said: @gandalf Yes there is. In the terminal, navigate to the folder you no longer want the files indexed and execute the following command: touch .nomedia This also works on desktop linux. Thanks, that worked (mostly). I had to delete the data and cache for both the music player and gallery plus do a reboot. They haven't picked up the files again.

@undrwater I think it may not be a general aversion to guestures, but UT already has some implemented. So adding more without breaking something and doing it in a nice way isn't easy.

lol if we are being honest i cannot ....i was just thinking a little more operating scratch ....prob a dumb idea ....i do have those from time to time

I switched my Fairphone 4 to 24.04 for volte. When it works the calls work and the data connection remains working as well (e.g. hotspot). But overall it comes with quite a number of limitations: no reconnect after loss of connection (e.g. going to a basement without reception) volte breaks when connecting to a wifi network and does not reconnect when disabling wifi. But it keeps working when enabling or disabling the wlan hotspot after any of these two events the status indicator sometimes shows the volte sign, but as soon as I make or receive a call it will drop back to 3g (for as long as that still works, my provider announced the shutdown). no ringing tone when making a call

@kristatos Gute Nachrichten! Ich habe festgestellt, dass ich die Bluetooth Verbindung mit dem Autoradio in den UT-Bluetooth Einstellungen mit dem Entfernen Button gar nicht wirklich löschen kann. Ich habe dann nach anderen Möglichkeiten gesucht, um die Verbindung zu entfernen. Mit diesen Befehlen habe ich die Verbindung entfernen können. $ bluetoothctl $ devices $ remove MAC_ADDRESS Danach habe ich das Pixel 3a neu gestartet und versucht eine Bluetooth Verbindung mit dem car-audio herzustellen. Diesmal hat es beim ersten Versuch geklappt. Sounds good! Die Funktionalitäten mit Anrufen und Adressbüchern habe ich noch nicht getestet. Hat für mich aber nur eine untergeordnete Priorität. Ich vermute, dass der erste Verbindungsversuch vor Wochen gescheitert war, aber noch irgendwelche Konfigurationseinträge eine neuerliche Koppelung verhinderten. Erst durch die saubere Entfernung der korrupten Verbindung und einen Neustart konnte eine neuerliche Verbindung erfolgen. Vielen Dank für deine optimistischen Antworten. Sonst wäre ich vermutlich nicht mehr bei dem Regen zum Parkplatz gelaufen. Und morgen hätte ich wieder die Kabelverbindung angestöpselt. (wie in den 80ger Jahren)

Ok. Like I uinstall my debian for lmde, I will try laaaaater. It is possible that I have a probleme with the gpu driver : I try to solve it in lmde.

@arubislander OK. Darn !

@Bolly Not harsh at all. But we had to go through the process of warning the user and seeing where things went. Where they went warranted intervention. The situation has now been dealt with and we have posted our stance on the matter going forwards.

Is it worth considering starting again? Installing the correct Fairphone Andriod version listed on the ubuntu-touch website and following the install procedures for 24.04 stable? I have none of the issue you mentioned in your multiple threads with my fp5. The only outstanding issue is the fingerprint reader for me at the moment on stable.

@k.nacke im finally back with the tablet, can you teach me how to port a device

i am doing a app for this in the future called pysync ...i may rename it for UT ...hmmm UT-sync?? .....the app is built but very broken right now and not a priority ...it will do the same thing as syncthing ...well i hope anyways UT design can throw a wrench into things

@Escain this is precisely what i am experiencing as well on fp5! @devs please fix!

@Moem said: @oldbutndy Sorry, no idea! I would hope that someone looking for information would get their info at the source: our webpage. Not an AI summary that may or may not be correct. I may be oldfashioned... but I always try to look for the original source. Agreed, but I restarted my search 2025 December via Google and I know I also read the UT device page (because I made a spreadsheet then, comparing the top choices, and included details such as wireless ext display). I don't remember device page clearly saying VoLTE not working, main developer carrier NOT using VoLTE, and therefore low likelihood of P3A XL ever getting good VoLTE, and no native VOIP app for current UT release. So, I ordered the 3A XL, installed UT (great easy process, but it IS easy on an unlocked Pixel, and I had already been through similar process with LineageOS, on P XL, and 4XL.) I also don't remember in early December, whether Nord N10 5G was yet working for VoLTE, but by late that month I got replies to forum questions suggesting I try it (since 1 person had it working in USA on T-Mobile). That meant 'possible', at least. (so, I bought 1 !) All I am trying to say here is we need to keep striving to make sure the main UT landing pages are accurate, especially for critical details: examples (1) do any device pages clearly state that some highly promoted devices are missing bands required by some carriers in some countries ? or (2) on another brand, if you brick the main board during UT install, you effectively cannot get a part replacement in any country but France (if I understand that thread correctly). Those 2 facts might cut 2 of the MOST recommended options for US purchasers. So, last I checked, Nord N10 5G is not highlighted, but if in USA, and you want a phone that works on VoLTE now, and lasts a bit into the future, Nord N10 5G is the ONLY economical viable option ? If google quick search gets it wrong, and Dive Deeper gets it wrong, but people find UT device page and critical info NOT obvious, and new people waste time & money, isn't that at least partially our fault ? I understand that someone IS doing their best to update the tiny details, on device pages, but I was told that is completely different from adding a sentence to a paragraph on a web page (I did not know that). That is why I tried yesterday to see if I could improve the data that Google fed to people. I hate feeling helpless. I have no idea how to edit a webpage. (and I did not yet bother to ask Google about it.), And, since I am a newbie & keep finding conflicting info all over, I would not want to edit a page unless I was POSITIVE about it. I don't want to make anything WORSE !

@Futura Wow, that's disappointing.

@MarcelloTogg Core merged requests help to see too https://gitlab.com/groups/ubports/development/core/-/merge_requests?scope=all&state=merged

@Kadafi I have a FP5 and the 2FA app you are talking about installs without problem. Maybe it's because I'm on stable while by using daily you are exposing yourself to any fleeting update bug. The usual cause of this problem is network error. Try to download the click by hand using Morph QT6 browser and visiting open-store.io. If you can't download it, either your network is blocking somehow or your install is hosed (I have already warned you against this possibility, I'm still not convinced by your counter-arguments...) If you can, navigate to the resulting file and try to install it from there using the store app.
